Scaling up Gender Mainstreaming in Rural Transport: Analysis of Policies, Practices, Impacts and Monitoring – Tanzania Case Study
Results of a short study to review the state of gender mainstreaming in 2 rural transport programmes
Abstract
This report contains the results of a short desk top study to review the state of gender mainstreaming in 2 rural transport programmes in Tanzania.
This case study provides a review of the general gender policy and legislative environment and zeroes in on two programs, the Village Transport and Travel Programme (VTTP), and the Local Government Transport Programme (LGTP). The national policy and legislative environment for gender has evolved very progressively in the last few decades. However, the absence of monitoring and evaluation data and reports prevents an assessment of the gender equality performance of the programmes.
The lessons from the case study is that despite strong policy intent on gender mainstreaming, in the absence of a robust and mandatory monitoring framework, proper assessment of gender performance cannot be undertaken and good practice cannot be developed.
This project is funded by DFID under the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP
